Former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, called for a national concerted effort in the battle against insecurity, urging Nigerians to ignore all biases in order to solve the challenges currently facing the country.
Emmanuel, who spoke at an interactive session with newsmen at the Pre-Service of Nine Lessons and Carol, held at the United Evangelical Church, Surulere, Lagos, on Sunday, stated that all hands must be on deck to support President Bola Tinubu to solve the problems facing the country.
He said Nigerians across ethnic, party and religious divides needed to come together at this moment to support the president in solving the problems that could plunge the country into crisis.
Emmanuel stated, “This is not the time to dwell on factors that create divisions, the issues that expand the frontiers of our disagreements and further undermine our national unity.
“Rather, as a people, we must pull together to confront our common enemies by giving every necessary support to President Tinubu to enable him face the challenges that are militating against the progressive movement upon which he has set our nation.”
He encouraged the president to continue to pursue the visions that would help the country overcome its current challenges and bring it to the ultimate goal of achieving good governance.
